E B A D
Every time I find myself in this old bind
Em7 Em/C E
Watching the death of my hopes.

In the ring so long gonna prove them wrong
Em7 Em/C E
I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.
[Chorus]

I've got enough fight left inside this tired heart
A G#m F#m
To win this one and walk out on my feet,
B
No retreat.

I'm not knocked out, but I'm on the ropes.

Everything that I hold near and dear to me

Is riding on this moment here and now,

I know how.
